Maybe it's just me, but if I lived in a giant bowl, and we were expecting a bad hurricane, assuming I couldn't get public transportation, I'd either try to hitch a ride, or in all honesty I might actually just start walking if all else failed. Or find some place that might not be that bad. But people that stay in their own home, then climb to the attic to avoid the water, then drown because the water rose are just plain dumb.

Certainly the rapes and murders weren't about survival. |
Which is why I added the phrase "and live the best life they can." Sure, they might not need a 50" plasma TV, but why not get one for free?
As for the rapes and murders, we'll just chalk that up to people being crazy and retarded.
